Seven patients with severe pancreatic inflamation secondary to acute pancreatitis are reported. Symptoms, laboratory data and radiologia findings suggested the diagnosis of phlegmon of the pancreas. The ultrasonography of the pancreas was useful for discriminating pancreatic pseudocyst from this entity. Clinical evolution of the pancreatic phlegmon could be long, up to 4 months, but it has tendency to expontaneous resolution. Relevant clinical findings of the disease are mentioned.

Background: Dapagliflozin possesses the capacity to cure a wide range of diseases, however, there are many adverse events (AEs) that have not yet been acknowledged or recorded.
Aim: Safety assessment of dapagliflozin based on the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database, to explore differences between the reported AEs to provide a overview of the safety profile of dapagliflozin.
Methods: We extracted data from the United States FAERS database, including from the fourth quarter of 2012 to the third quarter of 2023.

Pasteurellosis is a common zoonotic infection that occurs after an animal bite or scratch (B/S). We compared the clinical features of six patients with non-B/S pasteurellosis with those of 14 patients with B/S infections. Pasteurella multocida was identified with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry in all six non-B/S infections, whereas 13 of the 14 B/S infections were identified with diagnostic kits.

Introduction: Opioid administration is extremely common in the inpatient setting, yet we do not know how the administration of opioids varies across different medical conditions and patient characteristics on internal medicine services. Our goal was to assess racial, ethnic, and language-based inequities in opioid prescribing practices for patients admitted to internal medicine services.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of all adult patients admitted to internal medicine services from 2013 to 2021 and identified subcohorts of patients treated for the six most frequent primary hospital conditions (pneumonia, sepsis, cellulitis, gastrointestinal bleed, pyelonephritis/urinary tract infection, and respiratory disease) and three select conditions typically associated with pain (abdominal pain, acute back pain, and pancreatitis).
